On the barrel question, they are fluid steel. I am preparing them for a new rust bluing. They are polishing up quite nicely, I'm down to about 400 grit so far. I will go down to about 2000 grit, I get a very pretty finish when I really polish my barrels up. I know many people stop at about 400, but I just can't agree. I was going to leave the gun original but it just seemed a good candidate for a full restoration.
